How to pass Category value from test to TearDown

Question

I am running a test with the following attributes [TestCase(“First Count”), Category(“Catalog”)]

Later in TearDown I want to get the value "Catalog". I tried:

var cat = (string)TestContext.CurrentContext.Test.Properties.Get("Category");

But as a result - null I also tried to add [Property("value","Catalog")] to the test attributes Still the same result. How else can you do it?

With the syntax you are using, the Category is not applied to the individual test case but to the method as a whole, that is to the (internal) test suite created by NUnit to hold all the test cases for that method.

To apply a Category to a single test case, use this syntax: [TestCase("FirstCount", Category="Catalog")]

That said... there could be other problems since you haven't shown the entire TearDown method. If the above doesn't fix it, pelase edit your question to include the full method.
